class_docstr: Collects samples for one agent in one trajectory (episode).
  
  The agent may be part of a multi-agent environment. Samples are stored in
  lists including some possible automatic "shift" buffer at the beginning to
  be able to save memory when storing things like NEXT_OBS, PREV_REWARDS,
  etc.., which are specified using the trajectory view API.
docstr: Fills the buffer with the initial values for the given data column.
  for dat_col starting with `state_out`, use the initial states of the policy,
  but for other data columns, create a dummy value based on the view requirement
  space.
  
  Args:
      data_col: The data column to fill the buffer with.
      view_requirement: The view requirement for the view_col. Normally the view
          requirement for the data column is used and if it does not exist for
          some reason the view requirement for view column is used instead.
      build_for_inference: Whether this is getting called for inference or not.
  
  returns:
      is_state: True if the data_col is an RNN state, False otherwise.
